Yeshayah 52
52
1Awake, awake; clothe thyself with thy strength, O Tziyon; put on thy garments of splendor, O Yerushalayim, Ir HaKodesh; for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the arel (uncircumcised) and the tameh (unclean).
2Shake thyself from the dust; arise, O captive Yerushalayim; free thyself from the chains around thy neck, O captive Bat Tziyon.
3For thus saith Hashem, Ye have sold yourselves for nothing; and your geulah (redemption) shall be without kesef.
4For thus saith Adonoi Hashem, My people went down at first into Mitzrayim to sojourn there; and lately the Assyrian oppressed them.
5Now therefore, what have I here, saith Hashem, that My people is taken away for nothing? They that rule over them mock them, saith Hashem; and all day long Shemi (My Name) is continually blasphemed.
6Therefore My people shall know Shemi; therefore they shall know in Yom Hahu that I am He that doth speak; hineni, (behold, it is I).
7How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the Mevaser (bringer of Good Tidings, the Evangelist), that publisheth shalom; that bringeth good tidings of tov, that publisheth Yeshu'ah (Salvation); that saith unto Tziyon, Thy G-d reigneth!
8Thy tzofim (watchmen) shall lift up the kol (voice); with the kol together shall they shout for joy; for they shall see it with their own eyes, when Hashem returns to Tziyon.
9Break forth into joy, sing together, ye ruins of Yerushalayim; for Hashem hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Yerushalayim.
10 Hashem hath made bare His zero'a kedoshah#52:10 See Isa 53:1 in the eyes of Kol HaGoyim; and all the ends of ha'aretz shall see the Yeshu'at Eloheinu.
11Depart ye, depart ye; come ye out from there; touch not tameh (unclean thing); come ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that carry the k'lei Hashem.
12For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for Hashem will go before you; and Elohei Yisroel will be your rearguard.#52:12 Avdi Tzemach Moshiach Zech 3:8 will be exalted; but He must do the work of a kohen Ps 110:4 regarding the nations, sprinkling them (see Lv 4:16-17; 16:14); so yazzeh (“He [Moshiach] will sprinkle” many goyim; note: hiphil of naza, “splatter,” meaning “sprinkle”); see Zech 9:9-11 where Moshiach comes with the dahm and the Brit (Covenant)! Here in Isa 52:15, the covenant dahm (blood) is sprinkled upon the nations of the world; the King of Kings shall shut the mouths of the kings of all the earth.
13Hinei, Avdi#52:13 Moshiach, see Zech 3:8 shall act wisely, he shall be raised and be lifted up, and be highly exalted.
14As rabbim (many) were appalled at thee;#52:14 Moshiach his appearance was so disfigured more than any man, and his form more than the bnei adam;
15So yazzeh Goyim rabbim (he [Moshiach] will sprinkle many nations); the melachim (kings) shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and of that which they had not heard shall they have binah (understanding).

Isaiah 52
52
Deliverance for Jerusalem
1Awake, awake,
clothe yourself with strength, O Zion!
Put on your garments of splendor,
O Jerusalem, holy city!
For the uncircumcised and unclean
will no longer enter you.
2Shake off your dust!
Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem.
Remove the chains from your neck,
O captive Daughter of Zion.
3For this is what the Lord says:
“You were sold for nothing,
and without money you will be redeemed.”
4For this is what the Lord GOD says:
“At first My people went down to Egypt to live,
then Assyria oppressed them without cause.
5And now what have I here?
declares the Lord.
For My people have been taken without cause;
those who rule them taunt,#52:5 DSS and Vulgate; MT wail
declares the Lord,
and My name is blasphemed continually
all day long.#52:5 LXX—on account of you My name is blasphemed continually among the Gentiles; cited in Romans 2:24
6Therefore My people will know My name;
therefore they will know on that day
that I am He who speaks.
Here I am!”
7How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news,#52:7 Cited in Romans 10:15
who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices,
together they shout for joy.
For every eye will see
when the Lord returns to Zion.
9Break forth in joy, sing together,
O ruins of Jerusalem,
for the Lord has comforted His people;
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10The Lord has bared His holy arm
in the sight of all the nations;
all the ends of the earth will see
the salvation of our God.
11Depart, depart, go out from there!
Touch no unclean thing;#52:11 Cited in 2 Corinthians 6:17
come out from it, purify yourselves,
you who carry the vessels of the Lord.
12For you will not leave in a hurry
nor flee in haste,
for the Lord goes before you,
and the God of Israel is your rear guard.
The Servant Exalted
(Philippians 2:5–11)
13Behold, My Servant will prosper;#52:13 Or will act wisely
He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
14Just as many were appalled at Him #52:14 Syriac; Hebrew at You—
His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man,
and His form was marred beyond human likeness—
15so He will sprinkle #52:15 Or startle many nations.
Kings will shut their mouths because of Him.
For they will see what they have not been told,
and they will understand what they have not heard.#52:15 LXX For those who were not told will see, and those who have not heard will understand. Cited in Romans 15:21
